Hi there had my third fill on monday I have a 14 cc band I'm up to 9/5 cc now. Definatly feel a huge difference. Slow progression to normal food from mushies. I seem to swell after a fill for about a week then it settles. Definatly in or near the green.. Its more than halved my eating capacity. I was able to eat fair amount before and snack imbetween in moments of weakness. Not now.. :D congrats to being a 2. Thats fabulous.

The third fill is doing the trick. TODAY I STEPPED ON scale AND SAW THE FIRST NUMBER WAS A 2!!! I am below 300 for the first time in years' date=' feel great. Puked the other night when I ate too fast, and boy was I happy!! 275 here we come ! [/quote']

Woo hooooo! I already feel a difference . Ate Greek yogurt around 8 am and I'm not hungry , it's like 11 am.

I suppose it depends on how big your fills are. Mine were all pretty big.(had 1/5 from surgery) My first 4/5 cc. My second 2cc's the last 1/5cc's. Now I'm at 9/5 cc's in a 14 cc's band in a short period. I've only been banded since july 3rd.. Hang in there.. You'll get there. Its a bit of a shock when you do. But a good one.

Good afternoon, I just had my 4th fill Wednesday and now I am at a 6.5cc, I am really starting to feel that I am hitting my green zone. Does anyone else start to feel depressed if they don't see numbers change when they get in the scale? ?

You really can't go in the amount of fills. It would mean they had to be the same volume for everybody. You well get there soon. I wish I'd enjoyed eating while I still could. Although I feel full quickly and stay full I still mentally miss big dinner...

I have only had my first fill, and I feel no different, ;-( I'm ready for some restriction, my dr said I received 2cc and he will put 2cc more in a month. That's so long to have no restriction, I think.

I felt no difference on my first fill at all.. I did however stop eating before I was full and always waited four hours before eating again and never snacked.. I also followed weight watchers meal plan so I lost some weight.. I did find it really super hard was miserable being hungry. Now I'm there in the green I understand why you have to experience these hard bits. preparing you for itty bitty portions and loads of chewing. The month will fly by if you stay positive.. Hang in there.. Try to rememberer it usually took some times to gain the weight. It takes time to shift it...

Ps.. I'm sure there's no one dieting that didn't want more amazing, faster results. Thats the nature of the beast.. Imo

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
